Study summary

This phase III trial compares a smartphone application with or without nicotine replacement therapy in improving smoking cessation among Hispanic adults who would like to quit smoking. The iCanQuit smartphone application focuses on skills for managing urges, motivation, and relapse prevention with personalized quit plans. Nicotine replacement therapy works by giving small, steady doses of nicotine to help stop cravings and relieve symptoms that occur when a person is trying to quit smoking without any of the other harmful chemicals found in tobacco products.

Read the detailed description

OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Participants receive access to the iCanQuit smartphone application for 12 months and complete personalized quit plans with education regarding managing urges, motivation, and relapse prevention, on-demand help with tracking of daily cigarette consumption, and monitoring of urges passed without smoking.

ARM II: Participants receive access to the iCanQuit smartphone application for 12 months and complete personalized quit plans with education regarding managing urges, motivation, and relapse prevention, on-demand help with tracking of daily cigarette consumption, and monitoring of urges passed without smoking. Participants also receive NRT patch(es) and gum or lozenges to use per the usage instructions tailored to the participants' baseline smoking levels. In addition, participants receive daily push notifications with NRT dosage and refill reminders for 12 months.

After completion of study intervention, patients may be followed up at 12 months.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. 30-day point prevalence abstinence (PPA)

    The comparison will use a logistic regression model, following standard intent-to-treat analysis for smoking cessation trials, will be employed, coding all missing outcomes as smoking. The model will adjust for stratification factors and baseline factors that are both imbalanced after randomization and significantly related to the outcome.

    Time frame: At 12 months post randomization

Secondary outcomes

  1. 30-day PPA

    Time frame: At 3 and 6 months post randomization

  2. 24 hour PPA

    Time frame: At 3, 6 and 12 months post randomization

  3. 7 day PPA

    Time frame: At 3, 6 and 12 months post randomization

  4. Cost per quitter

    Standard methods for estimating cost-effectiveness in smoking cessation interventions will be used. The incremental cost-per-quitter will be estimated as the difference in total cost of delivering the two interventions divided by the difference in the number of 30-day abstinent participants at 12 months.

    Time frame: At 12 months post randomization

  5. Cost per life year gained

    Standard methods for estimating cost-effectiveness in smoking cessation interventions will be used. To compare iCanQuit with iCanQuit plus NRT in terms of life years gained, researchers will calculate the cost per life year gained.

    Time frame: At 12 months post randomization

  6. Cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained

    Standard methods for estimating cost-effectiveness in smoking cessation interventions will be used. Will estimate cost-per-QALY gained.

    Time frame: At 12 months post randomization
